How do you know if you're on the right track,

If you're in the zone with your manifestations?

Today we're going to dive into this because if you're not feeling that good feeling when you tune into your visions,

Then it means that something's not quite aligned with your highest self.

Because let's say for example someone wants to manifest a hundred billion trillion zillion dollars.

I actually know somebody who said that she wanted to manifest literally I think it was four hundred trillion dollars,

Right?

And she's broke,

Right?

So something is a bit off about that,

Okay?

And I imagine if she tries to even think about four hundred trillion dollars she probably can't even get her head around it because it's I mean such a huge number.

So sometimes we want things that are either literally impossible,

Unrealistic,

Or just not aligned with our values.

You know sometimes people say I want a million dollars.

Why exactly one million?

Why not ten million or one and a half million or 2.

3 million or 167 thousand?

The more you align your desires with reality,

Meaning with the reality of what you really want for yourself in your life,

With your actual experience of life,

The more you feel good about it and the more you can attract that towards you.

So just tune into something that you think you want right now.

Imagine that thing,

Imagine that you've attained that thing.

And just notice how you feel in your body as you think about that.

Does it feel like you're being pulled up,

Raised up,

Or does it feel a bit awkward?

So if you're not feeling that inspiration,

If you're not feeling uplifted,

Then it means something is not quite aligned within yourself.

Now this can have a few different causes.

One cause is if we're not aligned with our values.

So for example if you value peace and ease and grace and you want to have a very relaxed,

Peaceful life and you're holding a vision of a very hectic,

Busy life,

Like if you imagine achieving something and it means your life is going to change and you're gonna have all these things to do all the time and you're gonna be busy,

Busy,

Busy,

Then you're not gonna want to do that,

Right?

Many people they think things like,

I'd want to be famous,

Right?

But on some level they realize if they become super famous and well-known they're gonna have the paparazzi after them,

You know,

They'll be in the media all the time,

They'll probably have people knocking on the door,

You know,

They can't go for a walk in private,

You know,

So on some level they're worried about losing their peace,

Their privacy,

Their calm life.

So it's not aligned unless they find a way of achieving fame and fortune without being hounded by the press.

Some people might say they want all this money but on some level they don't really feel they need that huge amount of money and what is it for and what are they gonna do that maybe they're worried about the consequence of people trying to steal it or tax issues or complications or maybe someone wants a number that is beyond something they're actually comfortable with because everyone has what's called a wealth thermostat.

Just like in the house we have a number,

We set it,

You know,

To like 75 degrees or whatever it is and then if it gets too hot it kicks it in,

Brings it down,

If it gets too cold it brings it back up.

So we have a wealth thermostat,

We have a happiness thermostat,

We have a health thermostat,

Right?

So there's partly what we're dealing with here is some limitations within us and then sometimes it's belief systems and values that are out of alignment and other times it's just we're being unreasonable like this girl who wants 400 trillion dollars but she doesn't really,

Right?

These are all things that are going on so when people having a hard time with their manifestation it's normally something to do with these things.

So how can we turn it around?

How can you come up with something that really feels good?

Because what we're looking for,

Remember,

Is something that you can think about easily,

You can write it down and it gives you energy immediately.

It gives you energy by thinking about it and it compels you to action.

So the ideal vision is something that you can imagine quickly and easily.

You can write it down easily in one word or in a phrase or even a picture.

It sparks a good feeling in your body,

In your biology.

It pulls you up into a higher state of being where you're more yourself,

You're more your authentic self,

Your higher self and it allows you,

Compels you to do things differently in your life.

So for example I have various different goals and visions like one of them is about my spiritual state so I can imagine something what's called the karmatik stage which means free of any karmic accounts.

It's a state of profound freedom,

Real freedom.

You could call it enlightenment.

It's a different term.

It means that all of the past karma is cleared and there is a state of absolute freedom.

So when I think about that it makes me feel really good and it pulls me into that higher state.

So if I'm feeling in any way stressed out and I imagine that it pulls me up and go okay there's this higher state I'm moving into and I can I can actually tap into that state and while I haven't reached it permanently I can experience that again and again and again just with that one word karmatik stage or karmatik.

I also have certain financial goals and what goals for my work and reaching people and helping people and when I imagine helping more people and I imagine generating more wealth so that I can then give to charity and I can fund projects that inspires me.

I'm like great let's do more service let's help more people so that I can imagine that and it can pull me forward.

Now there was a time where some of these goals I had would were not really,

If I'm being radically honest,

Aligned with my higher values and they weren't aligned with a real reason.

I used to have various financial goals that were just random like I before about having a certain number of millions or a certain number of this and that and what for exactly I hadn't thought about that.

So what you can do to help get clearer is to keep writing down every day everything you want because the more you write it down you can feel energetically as you write it down whether or not it feels good whether it's aligned.

If you only write things down or think about them occasionally you can't quite tune into this but if you do this again and again when you write down that number when you write down that thing you get to tune into does it give you energy or is it actually really a superficial desire.

Some of the desires that we hold in our consciousness actually come from the media and from marketing companies and TV shows and movies and social.

We saw it somewhere else in a magazine somewhere we saw it on some TV show something happened to us right because we're exposed to millions millions of marketing messages.

So sometimes and that's it's not just occasionally but this is a very very common we've received all this stuff we think we should want all these things we've been programmed to want them and then we think we want them and then we write them down in our journal and some of them they just don't bring us any joy and why not because they're not really what we want.

Somebody else has put the seed in our mind that you want to have this thing and it really doesn't mean anything to us.

So it's not going to give you energy because it's not your idea it doesn't come from your heart and soul and if you get it you're not going to be any happier anyway.

So the more you write down what you want again and again and again and the more you feel into the vibrations of the things that you're writing down you'll tune into does it truly inspire you or not.

If it does then you can keep that you can hold on to that and when you imagine that it will bring you up it'll pull you up and if you repeatedly write something down and it doesn't feel good to you then you can actually just scratch it off the list you can just stop writing it down you can even cross it out and say that's it I'm done with this I'm not even gonna think about it anymore just let it go.

Right and other things you might need to adapt and adjust and tweak them so for example if you think that you want a million dollars and it doesn't do it for you is it too much or is it not enough?

With money goals I think it's very very helpful and we have this in our trainings in Awakened Academy to get clear on your money story and why you want the money you want.

So if you say I want a million dollars cash all right imagine someone deposits a million dollars in your bank account what are you gonna do with it?

It's good to actually write down what you're gonna spend this money on if you want money what are you gonna buy?

Are you gonna buy a new car?

Are you gonna buy a new house?

I mean houses are very expensive you can't buy a house for a million dollars nowadays.

A decent house right?

So it's not even gonna buy your house so then you might need five million to get a decent house right in a nice location.

But what are you gonna do?

You can have a mortgage,

You can have a different car,

You could travel.

Where would you like to travel?

Would you really like to travel to those places?

When you start tuning into these things in a bit more detail in a real practical way because remember once you actually have the things you want then you're living inside that experience.

Like for example here I am on the north shore of Kauai.

I've lived in Kauai for many many many years and I moved to Sedona now I go back and forth right?

So when I'm in Sedona I think oh wouldn't it be wonderful to be in Kauai?

And then once I've been in Kauai for a while I think oh wouldn't it be wonderful to be in Sedona?

But the funny thing is once I actually get to the new place like I'm sitting here right now on the couch right?

The roosters are going off,

You might be able to hear the birds in the background.

I'm gonna go to the beach shortly after this but I'm actually more inspired to do the work that I'm doing which I could do anywhere.

You know it's actually more enjoyable to me to be talking to you during this session than it is to sit on the beach.

Because once you've sat on the beach once and twice and three times and 20 times and a hundred times and a thousand times yeah it's great you know I'm gonna go for a swim it's gonna be nice to be in the clean ocean get a nice tan it's all fine right?

Great but actually what in truly truly honestly what brings me more joy what means more to me is being of service.

That was great I had a great time talking to everybody helping them make these shifts in their mind that was very inspiring great then I had a chat with a spiritual teacher a friend of mine about some projects she's working on and that was great and now I'm talking to you right this and I've been working on some projects I actually like working and serving more than I like wandering around on the beach.

Now there's nothing wrong with wandering around on the beach and I'm gonna do it and I like it but when it comes down to it when you really get into it when you really tune into your vision when you get clear about an actual day in the life of your ideal world then you start to experience what you really really want because our visions in our head can be very abstract people can imagine what it's like to be in Hawaii and they they ignore all of the practical things they just imagine this one scene of them feeling great on the beach looking over the ocean which is fine which is great and the ocean is beautiful and I love the ocean but that's not that's not it you can't just stand there in front of the ocean day in day out right you're gonna have to eat something you're gonna have to go for a walk you're gonna have to get to the beach and leave the beach even if you have a house on the beach you're gonna have to walk to your house right you have to go to the store there's stuff to do right so in in a real lived practical experience there are all these things going on so it's very useful to get clear about exactly what sort of life you want in much more depth who are you gonna be with what are you gonna wear if you have more money exactly what are you gonna spend it on you know do you want to buy art do you want to buy new furniture do you want to give it to charity giving gifts actually giving other people things brings more joy than buying things for ourselves so even though you might think it would be great to have a new car maybe it would you'd actually get more joy by giving someone else a car who really wants and needs one and getting their praise and appreciation then buying yourself the second or third car anyone who has a lot of money knows this right they love to give gifts they love to give that want to be of service so if you're feeling like your visions aren't quite hitting the mark it's probably because you haven't gone deep enough into what you really want why you really want it what it's gonna really be like having the things so this is an opportunity that you can can take the time to do this keep writing down what you want again and again and again every day and then go deeper into it imagine an actual day in the life and I can do a separate session just on that day in the life because that's a big deal but write down what you want why you want it get clearer about what this is for so money is a classic example I want 10 million dollars why all right you want to buy a house here in a house here in a house here why do you want that why do you need to buy the house why can't you just go and leave one of my clients was saying he wanted to buy a house this place in that place and I said sure you know by all means but you do realize you have to then maintain the house when you're not there right you have to get a property manager and you have to worry about leaks and which is fine and don't worry about it if that's what you want that's fine but you can realize that you can go and travel places easily without having to own the house he ended up buying the house which is fine and he's happy about it but I don't think he realized that it didn't mean as much to him as he thought it would and he was telling me far enough that he once he was there he started looking online for other houses in his neighborhood to buy instead right because there's always something better isn't there so if you can't be content today you're probably not going to be that content tomorrow right because you might have a nice house on the beach but then your neighbor has a better house on the beach right so then you want your neighbor's house so we really want to come down to what do we actually truly want what do we want to feel it's the feeling that's the whole point of this ultimately is to come into the feeling of all attainments it's not the things it's the feeling the feeling of satisfaction the feeling of joy the feeling of peace the feeling of fullness of love right so write down what you want why do you want it come into the feeling of what you actually want which is really what you want and you can have that today and then the things that you want bring you into that feeling state now so you can relax now and enjoy your life more and more and more now and then when you do get the things that you want which probably won't mean as much to you as you think they will realistically but then you can have other things that you want that bring you joy as well and you can shift your attention from wanting endless stuff to being in a higher state of consciousness being in an inspired space so thinking to yourself and feeling i have attained i have attained i've attained i have attained i can have a wonderful big smile you can think this to yourself i have attained everything i'm a spiritual being i'm alive i'm here in this world i'm a guest here life is blessed i've attained i'm blessed i'm blessed i'm blessed the feeling of being blessed the feeling of being full is the key thing and if these visions help you come into that feeling then not only will you feel you've attained everything today but you'll bring that feeling with you into tomorrow and into the next thing and into the next thing so just keep in mind what do you really want feel into the feeling of having attained it enjoy the good feeling and anything that's not aligned and superficial and not really what you want you can just scratch it out and let it go if it's not bringing you into a good feeling just let it go so enjoy this wonderful experiment enjoy this wonderful discovery and it's an ongoing discovery and the deeper you go with it the more joy you'll feel the more you'll feel you've attained everything and the more you'll be living from fullness to fullness to fullness so much love and blessings have a beautiful day enjoy this good feeling and talk to you soon
